About Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy
IFS Therapy invites you into a journey of self-discovery—an exploration of the many “parts” that shape your human experience. These parts carry emotions, beliefs, and memories, all of which influence how you think, feel, and relate to others.
Parts Within Us
Within each of us lives an interconnected tapestry of parts—formed by our life experiences, emotions, and beliefs. This natural multiplicity of mind is true for everyone. In therapy, we navigate these parts together with compassion and curiosity, fostering understanding, acceptance, and integration.
Benefits of IFS Therapy
- Self-Awareness – Explore the different parts of yourself to better understand how they influence your moods, habits, decisions, and relationships.
- Insight – As your parts feel heard and understood, a natural calm, clarity, and gentleness begin to arise within you.
- Enhanced Relationships – By cultivating awareness of your inner system, you also deepen your understanding of others, strengthening your connections.
- Reduced Symptoms – Addressing the root causes of suffering helps relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, disease, addiction, and chronic stress, while supporting lasting well-being.
Who Can Benefit from IFS Therapy?
IFS therapy may be especially supportive if you:
- Experience anxiety, depression, or chronic stress
- Notice recurring patterns, habits, or beliefs that impact your well-being
- Feel disconnected from yourself and/or your spirit
- Are navigating a current or the aftermath of a difficult life event
- Wish to improve your relationships with yourself and others
- Grew up in a dysfunctional or abusive family and are seeking healing from its impact
How IFS Therapy Works
In our sessions, we work collaboratively to connect with the parts of you that show up as physical sensations, memories, emotions, or beliefs. By developing compassionate relationships with these parts, you begin to uncover the roots of your suffering and create greater harmony and integration within yourself.
Integrative Healing
Alongside IFS, I draw from complementary approaches—including Relational Life Therapy, Healing Our Core Issues (HOCI), Emotional Sobriety, somatic practices, and mindfulness meditation. Together, these tools support deep healing and the development of healthier, more authentic relationships with both yourself and others.
These pains you feel are messengers. Listen to them.
